Hi Linda, I think this a reaction to the OVER writing-for-the-theme approach that many proposals take. Almosrt every proposal usually has words from the theme title in the session title, which waters down the actual research folks are doing... #4C26

You may have already seen this, but the #4C26 CFP is explicitly asking that we NOT write for the theme!!!

Peer Review is only useful for the person getting feedback? WRONG! My new substack post explains what I took from a recent teaching observation, and gives my hot take on why the word "hearing" is better than "listening"! davidcoad.substack.com/?r=oh…

Follow me on bsky @dcoad for more #4C25 content.

GREAT NEWS: I've accepted a new position as an Assistant Teaching Professor at @SantaClaraUniv! Jesuit universities are known for excellent teaching and ethical critical thinking, so I'm proud to be a part of that! Thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way!

It seems like you do a lot of guest lectures in classes! That's so awesome. I havent had many guest speakers. I'd love to incorporate that idea more into my teaching (and speaking) practice.

Probably (finally) following my rhetoric and composition / academic colleagues over to BlueSky due to Elon-algorithmicization here. Would love to connect with you there, @dcoad, same handle as here!

*Digital Literacies for Human Connection* Book FULL Manuscript is now submitted for peer review at our publisher. SO EXCITED! GO TEAM! @ambi24 @mettalrose Rich Shivener

Hey #cwcon #cwcon25 hosts--I know it's early to know for sure, but will there be a shuttle from the Atlanta airport, since it's an almost 2 hour drive? Too long for a Lyft for sure...

Who’s ready for some live tweeting at #4C25 in Baltimore? @mettalrose and my proposal about our upcoming book project (with @ambi24 and Rich Shivener) was accepted! Looking forward to preseting about the changing landscape of humanistic digital literacies!!!

I see them all around every day, Silicon Valley folks love useless expensive things

Ah I missed all you amazing folks this year!!

The book *Digital Literacies for Human Connection* is now under contract with the National Council of Teachers of English - NCTE!!!! So thankful to be working with @ambi24 @mettalrose & Rich Shivener on this project.

I didn't watch the full keynote, but is there going to be a way to turn OFF ChatGPT integration on your iPhone? I know plenty of people who hate giving AI new food/data, and would not use an iPhone with the possibility of this.

It's about time for this change that more accurately and honorably represents our work to students/colleagues/publics, and I hope other universities will do the same!

Santa Clara University is changing its non-tenure-track faculty's titles! Adjunct Lecturers (who are really full-time) will just be Lecturers, and Renewable Term Lecturers will become Assistant/Associate Teaching Professors. Senior Lecturers will become Teaching Professors.
